P-wave Propagation

P-Wave Propagation is the propagation of primary seismic waves, as a fundamental elastic wave phenomenon in solid media, distinguished by its compressional particle motion parallel to the direction of wave travel and its status as the fastest mode of seismic energy transmission through the Earth.
